REAL VINTAGE HAVEN
Donna Flower Vintage in Barnstaple, North Devon is a well known secret amongst real vintage aficionados. Run by Donna and her daughter Jasmine, it’s quite simply one of the best vintage clothing shops in the UK. The stock is vast and what they don’t know about vintage fashion and fabrics isn’t worth knowing. It’s a great place to
go if you are looking for a full vintage outfit for a festival, or maybe
a beautiful one off dress to wear for a special occasion. You can get everything you need here because as well as the clothing, you can pick up vintage shoes, hats, belts, gloves, sunglasses, jewellery, underwear, stockings and handbags. We thought these 1940s brooches would
look great on a smart utility jacket and would also make a lovely gift. You can visit their website too but if you are looking for something
in particular, give them a call and they’ll try and source it for you.
If that wasn’t enough, they also stock beautiful vintage fabrics and haberdashery if you have a mind to fashion something yourself, as well as a selection of eiderdowns, quilts and homeware. www.donnaflowervintage.com
